“Road transport and traffic telematics”, Working Group 14 (WG 14) on the subject of After Theft Systems for Vehicle Recovery (ATSVR) WG 14 comprised representatives and experts from police, insurance associations (CEA), car manufacturers, transport associations, vehicle rental associations and ATSVR system and product providers The work was also in cooperation with Europol and the European Police Cooperation Working Group (EPCWG) This European Standard was developed to define an architecture within guidelines from CEN/TC 278 through which a level of interoperability can be achieved between Systems Operating Centres (SOC) and Law Enforcement Agencies (LEA), both nationally and internationally This will provide minimum standards of information and assurance to users as to the functionality of systems, thereby enabling the recovery of vehicles, detection of offenders and a reduction in crime This European Standard refers to the potential development of systems to enable law enforcement agencies to remotely slow and/or stop the engines of stolen vehicles This situation remains and further information is available in 2012 CEN publication N2643 Feasibility Report on Remote Slow and Stop Technology, available from CEN/TC 278 The other parts of EN 15213 should be read in conjunction with this document that distils the architecture and terminology profile generated by the internal technical reports of CEN/TC 278 BS EN 15213-1:2013 EN 15213-1:2013 (E) Scope For many years, consumers, law enforcement agencies and insurers have been confronted with an ever-increasing number of vehicle thefts, both genuine thefts and insurance frauds, as well as the growing problem of increasing violence and threats against vehicle drivers Manufacturers have and will continue to introduce after-theft systems that will enable the police to recover stolen vehicles Different techniques are being used for that purpose This document refers to them by the generic name of After Theft Systems for Vehicle Recovery (ATSVR) Standards for Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) and Automatic Equipment Identification (AEI) are being developed by CEN/TC 278/WG 12 in parallel with EN ISO 14814 This ATSVR standard does not prejudice that work and does not seek to establish parameters for future AVI/AEI standards DSRC and AVI standards are seen as basic technology blocks for types of short-range ATSVR systems Certain specialised terms and definitions have been used in writing the ATSVR standards This preliminary document aims to provide the preliminary framework of ATSVR concepts and definitions for the purpose of following ones It will therefore: define the concepts and global architecture models for ATSVR and the appropriate terminology; identify the various elements that may comprise an ATSVR The events and associated information that are relevant to the situation prior to the registration of the theft are relevant to the total process, but may be subject to the laws of individual countries Such events and associated information may be described in the standards to give clarity to the technical processes identified, which obviously does not presume on the prevailing legal conditions Normative references Not applicable Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply 3.1 General definitions 3.1.1 ATSVR After Theft System for Vehicle Recovery system that comprises various technical elements that communicate and interact through various interfaces in accordance with standard procedures and transmission protocols in order to facilitate the recovery of a Registered Stolen Vehicle Note to entry: An ATSVR necessarily includes various human elements For clarity, this document will identify interactions and interfaces that exist amongst the equipment and human elements operating within the system 3.1.2 ATSVR user individual, group or organisation that directly uses or interacts with an ATSVR Note to entry: The main users could be: Law Enforcement Agencies, Insurers, Car Manufacturers, System Service Providers and Vehicle Service Providers BS EN 15213-1:2013 EN 15213-1:2013 (E) 3.1.3 ATSVR detection equipment user personnel who operate the ATSVR Detection Equipment 3.1.4 ATSVR information user personnel who use the ATSVR data and information 3.1.5 ATSVR service provider organisation that provides ATSVR Services for ATSVR Users Note to entry: An ATSVR Service Provider can operate all or part of the functions of an ATSVR It will usually be distinct from a Law Enforcement Agency It may also be known as a Private Security Company or ATSVR operator 3.1.6 ATSVR equipment equipment that either, individually or in combination with other equipment, performs one or more functions of an ATSVR or facilitates interfaces between the various elements of an ATSVR 3.1.7 ATSVR on-board equipment OBE equipment which is installed in or on the vehicle whose primary purpose is to allow that vehicle to be recovered in the event of theft and which may also indicate theft and record activity relevant to that detection 3.1.8 ATSVR detection equipment DE equipment which is used to perform various functions of an ATSVR and which may be stationary, portable or mobile 3.1.9 ATSVR system operating centre SOC System Operating Centre which functions as a control and management centre for an ATSVR Note to entry: It may, for example, be a commercial bureau, a government facility or law enforcement agency office An SOC is distinct from the communications infrastructure, detection equipment and On-Board Equipment 3.1.10 law enforcement agency LEA Agency or Organisation approved or appointed to have jurisdiction in a territory over the recovery of stolen vehicles Note to entry: It will usually refer to an official authority such as the Police Force or Customs Service 3.1.11 ATSVR human interactions human interactions are required to link different stages of the process, these human interactions obviously being outside the scope of standards Note to entry: Recovery process cannot be fully automatic See Figure — Human interactions for the ATSVR model 3.1.12 ATSVR “human machine interface” interaction mechanism between the user and the equipment, including the set of inputs, outputs and dialogue procedures (that concern all display, sound signals and command user) Note to entry: As technical supports of the Human Interface, the HMIs are subject to standardisation BS EN 15213-1:2013 EN 15213-1:2013 (E) 3.1.13 vehicle operators individuals legally operating or driving a vehicle, not necessarily the vehicle's legal owner or registered keeper 3.1.14 unauthorised vehicle operators individuals operating or driving a vehicle who have NOT been authorised by the registered owner or authorised agent of the vehicle to operate or drive the vehicle Note to entry: Individuals whose legal authority to use the vehicle has been withdrawn 3.1.15 vehicles wheeled or tracked conveyances including cars, motorcycles, trucks, trolley-buses, trailers, heavy construction vehicles and agricultural plant 3.1.16 target vehicle registered stolen vehicle fitted with ATSVR OBE that is being sought 3.1.17 registered stolen vehicle vehicle fitted with ATSVR OBE that has been reported as stolen or being used by an Unauthorised Vehicle Operator to a Law Enforcement Agency by the Vehicle Owner, by an Authorised Vehicle Operator, or by an ATSVR Service and that report having been accepted by the LEA caused the LEA to register the vehicle as stolen or as being used by an Unauthorised Vehicle Operator Note to entry: This is the official theft registration 3.1.18 detected vehicle Registered Stolen Vehicle fitted with an ATSVR OBE that has been detected by an item of DE 3.1.19 telecom operator provider of telecommunications services not dedicated exclusively for an ATSVR System, but used in many application areas (e.g Network Operator of a GSM, RDS, communication satellite, optical cable, PSTN network) 3.2 Basic ATSVR Functions There are three basic ATSVR functions of detection, location and identification of a Registered Stolen Vehicle 3.2.1 detection function function to detect automatically or semi-automatically the location of a Registered Stolen Vehicle Note to Entry: This may be done by Signaling or by Consulting Note to Entry: Detection by Signalling is where the OBE has been activated by a signal from an external source This activation may come from a mobile or stationary source, which may be local to the vehicle (Short-Range) or at a distance from the vehicle (Long-Range) Once activated the OBE will transmit a signal that is capable of being picked up by ATSVR Detection Equipment located locally to the vehicle or at a distance from the vehicle The transmitted signal may contain other relevant information Note to Entry: Detection by Consulting is where an external item of Detection Equipment interrogates the OBE and the OBE responds by transmitting data to the DE The DE then compares the received data with a database of Registered Stolen Vehicles, a data match confirms that a Registered Stolen Vehicle is present and further action can take place BS EN 15213-1:2013 EN 15213-1:2013 (E) 3.2.2 location function function thanks to which, once the Registered Stolen Vehicle has been detected, its location can be established by one of the following functions: Location by direct or indirect geographic co-ordinates which is the process that establishes the general or precise location of the vehicle at a given point in time, which allows entitled persons to carry out their defined tasks of recovering; Homing (also known as Tracing or Relative Positioning) which is the process that periodically updates the range and direction of the detected vehicle from an intercepting vehicle over a period of time, thus allowing entitled personnel to approach or intercept the detected vehicle without the necessary use of landmarks or absolute geographic references; Tracking which is the process that periodically updates location and other information on the detected vehicle over a period of time and allows entitled personnel to monitor location of the detected vehicle, approach or intercept it 3.2.3 identification function function which allows the unequivocal identification of a vehicle as being the Registered Stolen Vehicle Note to entry: This may be by means of a secure process that allows the unique vehicle data to be read, e.g VIN, registration number, and other data, e.g theft status, model, colour and, if relevant, position Note to entry: Discrimination is the process that enables entitled personnel unambiguously to differentiate the detected vehicle from other surrounding vehicles Note to entry: Recognition is the process that enables entitled personnel correctly to select the detected vehicle through visual observation based on knowledge of the vehicle particulars such as make, model, colour and other specific observable features Note to entry: Indirect Identification results from data coming from a central or remote data bank, whilst Direct Identification is that resulting from data coming from the OBE itself 3.3 Optional ATSVR Functions 3.3.1 remote degradation function function of remotely degrading vehicle performance Note to entry: This is dealt with in Parts and of this European Standard 3.3.2 theft indication function transmission of a warning or alert from the OBE to an SOC or item of DE that the transmitting vehicle may have been stolen Note to entry: Figure shows how these functions chain together in the course of operations EN 15213-1:2013 (E) Figure — ATSVR functions chaining up BS EN 15213-1:2013 EN 15213-1:2013 (E) 3.4 ATSVR Services 3.4.1 ATSVR commercial services supply of discrete services such as product delivery, product installation, setting up of ATSVR components and ATSVR service assistance 3.4.2 ATSVR monitoring services supply of continuous services required in running an ATSVR service 3.5 ATSVR Communications 3.5.1 ATSVR interface connections between all the ATSVR elements enabling them to interact, which include, but are not exclusively, fixed or radio interfaces, physical and display interfaces 3.5.2 OBE air interface interface that facilitates the passing of information to and from the OBE, either to an item of Detection Equipment or to an infrastructure network, and that allows the ATSVR to interface with an OBE 3.5.3 long-range interface interface between the OBE and other ATSVR equipment over extended distances, typically more than 100 m 3.5.4 short-range interface interface between the OBE and other ATSVR equipment over short distances, typically less than 100 m 3.5.5 infrastructure network one or more communications systems or networks that may be ground based or space based that facilitate the transmission of information 3.5.6 communications network totality of communications between the OBE and other items of the ATSVR, which includes the Infrastructure Network and all the interfaces defined above 3.5.7 ATSVR interactions communications, data exchanges and actions that take place between elements of the ATSVR through ATSVR Interfaces 3.6 ATSVR Status 3.6.1 OBE theft status OBE internal status of "Stolen/Not Stolen" which is used by the OBE to modify its response to Detection Equipment and may be included in other information being transmitted to and from the OBE 3.6.2 OBE performance degradation status - option status invoked by the Remote Degradation Function, which will have at least two states of Degradation ON and Degradation OFF, but may have more states to define the degree of degradation or functions to degrade, and which can be altered directly or remotely via an air interface 10 BS EN 15213-1:2013 EN 15213-1:2013 (E) 3.6.3 OBE theft warning or alert status - option internal state which is invoked when the OBE detects that it may be stolen and which can be used to modify the transmitted information or undertake other functions 3.6.4 OBE activation status status ON is invoked via an external signal into the OBE, causing it to perform as a Stolen Vehicle It can also be set to OFF, causing the OBE to perform as vehicle that has not been stolen Note to entry: 3.7 This status can be altered directly or remotely via an air interface Interoperability and Compatibility 3.7.1 interoperability ability of systems to provide services to and accept services from other systems and to use the services so exchanged to enable them to operate effectively together Note to entry: The word "services" used in the definition is taken to mean the "functions", identified in this document, which combine to recover a vehicle This concerns ATSVRs in regard to their processes and in regard to the information that passes between the defined elements of an ATSVR Specifically, two sorts of interfaces and hence two sorts of questions will be considered: HMI (Human-Machine Interface) At the HMI, a number of ATSVR functions are available for the User to interpret Those pieces of information that are common to the different functions require a common method of communication or display; MMI (Machine-Machine Interface) The techniques implemented to meet the specific requirements of every function inevitably means that different types of MMIs will continue to coexist Thus Interoperability is considered at the scale of a given type 3.7.2 compatibility for ATSVR applications ability of any (sub)-system to interact with another (sub)-system according to a set of predefined rules in the form of interface specification and protocol definition Note to entry: Quite obviously, the ATSVR constituents are compliant with the environment standards In this regard, the different systems are mutually compatible; i.e are not interfere with one another Note to entry: Regarding communication ability, a given piece of equipment will be said to be compatible with different MMIs when able to communicate with the range of objects (networks, DE, Position Reference Sources) sharing these MMIs Compatibility comprises working within the set of rules applying to a given type of MMI Note to entry: Two pieces of equipment are said to be interchangeable, from the viewpoint of an interface, when they are both compatible with this interface Symbols and abbreviations ATSVR After Theft Systems for Vehicle Recovery LEA Law Enforcement Agency SOC System Operating Centre OBE On

Model General The ATSVR Conceptual Architecture Model provides an overview of the concepts and main interfaces of each function of a generic ATSVR The model architecture is descriptive rather than prescriptive, and is independent of the various technologies, configurations and organisations that might be implemented in each country Figure — Conceptual architecture model for ATSVR functions provides a conceptual representation of a generic ATSVR The architecture concept consists of three main components: a) the Vehicle, with On-Board Equipment, sensors and actuators as appropriate; b) the Communications Network, with Positioning Reference, infrastructure network and Detection Equipment as appropriate; c) the System Operating Centres for the LEA and Service Provider The main interfaces between these components are detailed below The process necessarily begins with the theft of the vehicle Following theft or suspected theft, the first possible function is to indicate that a theft of a vehicle has occurred Following this, the status of the target vehicle, i.e., whether the target vehicle has been stolen or not, shall be confirmed by the user or by other appropriate personnel and this status shall then be acknowledged by a Law Enforcement Agency This then becomes a Registered Stolen Vehicle The vehicle should then be located by the ATSVR, and if moving, tracked or homed onto by the system in order to facilitate LEA or ATSVR service personnel to close range with the target vehicle By closing range with the target vehicle, they will more easily be able to recognise the vehicle Once recognised, the target vehicle shall be accurately discriminated as the target vehicle from other surrounding vehicles This process facilitates the selection of the target vehicle for closer examination by LEA or ATSVR personnel in order to confirm the identity of the target vehicle as the stolen vehicle The process of establishing identity may require an additional query and response through ATSVR databases This process can under controlled circumstances, be assisted by the degradation of the performance capabilities of the target vehicle This excludes safety critical functions 5.2 Functions within the process Following Theft Registration and, as appropriate to the ATSVR system and function operated, the SOC may activate or re-activate the OBE and / or the DE via an Infrastructure Network at Long-Range or at Short-Range Using the ATSVR DE or OBE, the system can detect, discriminate and recognise the Registered Stolen Vehicles at Short or Long-Range from Vehicles During this detection phase and according to the ATSVR Function operated, some ATSVR Interactions are processed between the OBE and the Communications Network and between the Communication Network and the SOC Concerning the optional Degradation Function, the OBE Activation/Deactivation signal interfaces with electronic actuators in the specific Registered Stolen Vehicle 12 BS EN 15213-1:2013 EN 15213-1:2013 (E) The ATSVR Identification Function usually operates only between the OBE and the DE, thus allowing an unequivocal identification of the Detected Vehicle The optional Theft Indication function will alert the SOC of the vehicle theft status 5.3 5.3.1 Short- and Long-Range Concepts ATSVR Operations with Short-Range Concept The SR Concept uses an interface, which allows the Detection Equipment to operate some ATSVR Functions in vicinity of vehicles (i.e in direct line of sight) The SR Concept allows LEAs, where it is necessary for them, to restrict their actions to ATSVR Operations located in their immediate vicinity 5.3.2 ATSVR Operations with Long-Range Concept The LR Concept uses an interface, which allows the Detection Equipment to operate some ATSVR Functions at distances normally greater than direct line of sight This LR Concept is generally operated with ATSVR Location Functions 13 EN 15213-1:2013 (E) Communication Network(s) Operating
